in the current new energy vehicle market, domestic brands dominate the market. on the other hand, new energy vehicles from joint venture brands often give people an inherent impression of low configuration and high price. but is it really so? are new energy vehicles from joint venture brands really not good? today, let gac honda jipai 2 break the prejudice.

appearance: novel crossover style

the exterior design of gac honda suv adopts the e:n design concept of touching the future. different from traditional compact suvs, it integrates the design advantages of sedans and suvs, and with the fastback style, it looks like a strong crossover style.

the front face design is very angular, with built-in "c"-shaped daytime running lights in the headlight group. when the width lights are turned on, the light strip above the front grille and the self-luminous car logo can be lit up, which looks very technological. the rear of the car is also equipped with "c"-shaped taillights, which echo the front design, and the bottom is supplemented by a large-sized sporty rear surround to enhance the dynamic atmosphere.

the evaluation car is equipped with continental uc6 tires, which have the characteristics of strong wet grip, short braking distance and low noise. the specific specifications are 225/50 r18.

interior: practical

the interior is very innovative, and the space is flexible. the front center console adopts a through design, and the driver and front passenger can move freely. at the same time, the height of the driving position has been raised, and with the corresponding optimized instrument panel, it can provide a clearer and wider driving field of vision. in addition, the two-color stitching steering wheel and the embedded lcd instrument that is level with the air-conditioning outlet have greatly enhanced the sense of fashion.

the 12.8-inch multimedia touch screen has a built-in honda connect 4.0 intelligent navigation system, which is not only smooth in operation and rich in functions, but also supports carplay and carlife car-machine interconnection functions. it is worth mentioning that when connecting to carplay and using autonavi maps for navigation, the guidance information can be synchronized to the hud head-up display, which is very convenient. in addition, the evaluation car is also equipped with a 12-speaker bose audio system, which has an excellent overall listening experience and balanced three-band.

in terms of comfort configuration, such as electric sunroof, multi-layer soundproof glass throughout the car, rain-sensing wipers and second-row seat back adjustment, all are standard. in addition, the evaluation car also has two optional packages, "comfortable music cabin" and "zero sense technology cabin", which include the front door armrest heating function, combined with seat heating and steering wheel heating, greatly improving the comfort of winter driving.

power: excellent handling

the test vehicle is equipped with a front single motor with a total power of 150kw and a total torque of 310n·m. the transmission system matched with it is a fixed gear ratio gearbox, and the cltc pure electric range is 545km.

although it only provides a single motor, the acceleration performance is still not to be underestimated. the accelerator pedal response speed is in line with the usage habits of most users, and acceleration and overtaking are smooth and linear, and done in one go. adjust to sport mode, step on the accelerator pedal sharply at the start, the front wheel will instantly break through the grip limit, and there will be a brief slip, but it will soon return to a stable acceleration state, which is exciting but not thrilling.

the brake system has moderate feedback, and the brake force is evenly released linearly, so you won't feel uncomfortable even if you use it for the first time. in terms of noise suppression, the pure electric power system and multi-layer soundproof glass make the interior quiet, but the road noise will increase significantly when driving at high speeds, but it is much better than honda's fuel-powered cars.

the test car is equipped with a combination of front mcpherson independent suspension + rear torsion beam non-independent suspension, and the tuning style is more comfortable. facing the small bumps caused by uneven roads, the chassis filters them quite well. however, when passing through large potholes such as speed bumps, there will be obvious bounce and sway in the car, but fortunately the amplitude is slight and the impact on comfort is limited.

the honda xt2 is made by honda, so its control is naturally an advantage. the steering feel of the evaluation car is very good, the damping is full and the force is moderate, and the steering feeling is very enjoyable. in addition, in sport mode, you can also turn on the honda ev sound sports sound wave, and through the infinite scale active sound control technology, the driving experience is more dynamic and exciting.

space: spacious riding space

in terms of riding space, a tester with a height of 1.75m can get a good riding experience in both the front and rear seats, with plenty of head and leg room. it is worth mentioning that the rear seats also provide backrest adjustment function, and the middle platform is almost completely flat, which further improves the riding comfort of rear passengers.

in terms of storage space, the number of storage compartments is quite satisfactory. the front central channel adopts a through-design, and the bottom of the rear island is equipped with a manual pop-up cup holder. at the same time, the front and rear door handles are both sealed and can be used as storage slots. however, it would be better if the two cup holders on the rear center armrest could be equipped with a limit device.

the trunk is relatively neat inside, and the floor can be adjusted in two levels, with the highest level being level with the edge of the trunk opening. at the same time, a storage slot with a good volume is provided under the trunk floor, which provides strong privacy. in addition, the rear seats can be folded down in proportion, further improving the expansion capability.

safety: active and passive safety configurations are complete

in terms of safety configuration, the test car is equipped with a number of active and passive safety configurations. the 360-degree panoramic image quality is significantly improved compared to previous honda brand models, with clear display effects and proper control of lens distortion, making it easy to observe the surroundings of the vehicle.

summarize:

the gac honda xt2, with its novel crossover style, has been supplemented in terms of technological configuration and intelligent experience, reaching the current mainstream level. at the same time, in terms of dynamics, in addition to retaining honda's usual excellent handling, the addition of electric motors adds a sense of lightness and linearity. most importantly, the price of the xt2 is less than 160,000 yuan, which is cheaper than the honda haoying, which is also from gac honda and has a similar size, and truly achieves that "electricity" is cheaper than "oil". it can be seen that joint venture brands are also gradually changing their strategies, and cost-effectiveness may no longer be the exclusive advantage of independent brands.
